Climate Dynamics Group
at the University of California, Santa Cruz

We are always glad to hear from researchers interested in pursuing quantitative, computational research in atmospheric or climate dynamics at the University of California, Santa Cruz. To get in touch, email Nicole Feldl a brief statement of your research background and interests, your CV, and your transcript (unless you are applying for a postdoc). Please also review the group participation guide.

For prospective graduate students

Please apply to the graduate program in Earth and Planetary Sciences and also consider applying for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Note that we find it most equitable, efficient, and helpful to chat by phone or Zoom after applications have been received. If the application fee is an undue burden, fee waivers are available (details in link above); this will not affect how your application is assessed.

For prospective postdoctoral researchers

Please let us know if you have an idea for collaboration. The following fellowships are recommended: NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship, NSF AGS Postdoctoral Research Fellowship, Schmidt Science Fellowship, and the UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship for female and minority PhD recipients.
